Kareem Martin played for James Bettcher the past four seasons, with Bettcher coordinating the Arizona Cardinals defense during the last three. He knows that part of his role with the New York Giants will be helping his new teammates understand what Bettcher is asking them to do.
“Yes, that’s something that I expected when they gave me the call and made the offer,” Martin told New York media on Friday morning. “I knew that I would probably be looked upon as a guy who would be asked those types of questions about the defense after being in it for the last few years and even talking with the coaches at dinner and things -- they were telling me that they know I was comfortable in the defense, and if I found any way that I could help those guys learn it or different techniques that we had learned in the past in this defense, to feel free to do that.
